A friend's 66 C-10 SWB currently has 275-60X15 tires on 8" rally wheels. He wants to convert to 17-in. What wheel widths, backspacing, and tire sizes are you guys running?

jchav62 · 07-21-2008, 03:47 PM

I used to have these on my '62. 17x8 TTII's with 255-45r17's. Not sure of the back spacing. I didn't specify when I ordered them... they fit great...

AllenKarber · 07-21-2008, 06:29 PM

17X8 polished Coy's C5 wheels with 4.5" backspacing and 275/40/17 Hankook Ventus tires:

Sorry for the same photo...since I'm doing a lot of modifications to the frame, I haven't had a chance to put the rolling stock back on the chassis for some time. Anyway, Ansen Sprints 16x12 (old funny car wheels) rear and Ansen Sprints 15x6 up front.

protrash64 · 07-23-2008, 10:57 PM

Torque thrust ST's......18x8.5........w/ 275/40/18's I think the backspacing is 5.25". Originally for a 88-98 3/4 ton truck with 6-lug.

BIG CTY · 07-23-2008, 11:16 PM

18" Foose Nitrous. 255/55 in the front and 285/50 in the rear. I know, I know - she needs a drop. I'll be doing a MILD drop next year. ~3 inches or so is all I need.

My old stepside with 225/70/15 front and 275/60/15 rear on 8.5" slotted mags.

64chevkev · 07-23-2008, 11:38 PM

My 64 with 235/60/15 front and 295/50/15 rear on centerlines 8s and 10s

Thank ya vera much! That pic of my 64 C10 and along with my 63 Caddy & 00 Indian Chief was taken in March 2002. Sold both the Caddy and the C10 to buy my 64 C20 Crewie.

Anthony Fremont · 07-24-2008, 08:10 PM

Picked these take-offs up on CL for $150 for the set of four.

Tires are like new, still have color rings around the tread and smell fresh. They are Goodyear P265-75R/16. These aren't exactly what I had in mind, but I couldn't pass up the deal. Of course it cost me another $86 for 1.25" billet adapters w/14mm studs to match the wheels. For some reason, it's hard to find these with a large center bore. If anyone needs a line on them, I can hook you up. The adapters look so nice, I hated to cover them up.

Ignore the jack stands, they aren't holding the passenger side up, this is how it sits with these wheels and tires. What ye think? I'll try to get better pictures tomorrow, there's a hurricane going on today. I just got the adapters today and I had to run out and install them in the rain (just the passenger side).

looks good Anthony, I ran a set of those tires, in Alaska, on my '90 K1500, good tires.
excellent score, I need another set of those tires if you run across some cheap

Anthony Fremont · 07-24-2008, 10:00 PM

Thanks, I really wanted some 8" painted rims with moons and something in the vicinity of 275-50s. I kinda like these wheels though the tires will eventually have to go when I do drop spindles and disc brakes. By the time I can afford them, the tires will probably be slick.

19GMC63 · 07-24-2008, 10:42 PM

does he have a stepper or fleet?
